I am only 26, but really want to get a brow lift. What would be the best type of lift to consider? (Photo)

Whilst I do appreciate that you have low brows, I would not advise surgery for a number of reasons. You have a relatively high hairline making endo-brow less effective. Direct forms of lift involving incisions are not ideal for younger patients due to the scarring and the propensity for an unnatural brow contour. I have may patients like yourself who do really well with botox, which if administered correctly achieve an excellent lift.

Thank you for your question. A brow lift would not raise your hairline, but will utilize the hairline as the location for the incisions so that any scarring is hidden once you have finished your healing. While the question about surgery your age is a good one, I suggest you consider the discomfort in your head that you are experiencing. I suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon and focus on releasing the tense feeling. Best wishes,

Botox can be used to raise the brows in patients with minimal brow ptosis. I would try that first, and it may solve the headache issue as well! An endoscopic browlift is an alternative, and would not change your hairline at all.

With a high forehead, it is best to do a forehead lift with an incision right at the hairline.(pretrichial/trichophytic)  This will both lift the brow and make the forehead shorter.  With good closure the scar should not be seen.

While brow lift surgery is always an option, treatment with any of the neurotoxins (Xeomin, Botox, Disport) is a good way to help you determine if you would like the result of surgery.  Moreover, toxin treatment is much less expensive than surgery and is a very useful tool at your age.  I have used this method first for many years and it has been very helpful in determining who benefits from surgery.
